January 9, 2024 - Really excellent Cali Pinot in a great spot right now. Went superbly with my wife's delicious Goulash soup.
November 23, 2023 - Opened this for Thanksgiving dinner along with a bottle of 2019 Elizabeth Chambers Morphos Pinot (McMinnville, OR appelation). This was showing really well, with clear Cali Pinot character, but not over-the-top at all, with silky mouthfeel and a lovely flavor profile. Everyone enjoyed it, with half preferring this and the other half preferring the Oregon bottle.
July 7, 2022 - Lots of acid remaining, not sure about the depth
April 21, 2022 - Drinking great now. Easy drinking and doesn’t require much thought or examination.
September 6, 2021 - not overly complex but lovely and balanced. wonderful nose, shorter finish than I had hoped for. drink up!
June 17, 2021 - It has been since 2018 since opening a bottle. It has continued to evolve and is now the best I’ve tasted it. Still very primary and new world, but it does have more depth than the last time I had it when it was a strawberry jam fruit bomb.
April 21, 2021 - Short decant, showing pretty earthy red fruited nose with just a hint of cherry cola. Same on the palate, mid- length. Generous slightly silky palate, not much structure at this time so probably not with a long life in front of it. A fine Pinot, not cut from the sweeter more candied cloth of the RRV, but lacking complexity. I wonder if it will evolve much tonight.
February 19, 2021 - Showed promise upon pnp, but somewhat shy. Over the course of the evening it started to reveal a very appealing floral, red fruited fusion.
My gut says this is currently the best it will be, but should hold at this stage for about another year. Fun stuff.
February 19, 2021 - Evolved beautifully in the glass. Mouth watering acidity and lovely red fruit.
October 30, 2020 - Supple, delicious, dark fruits.
